Zhu Hao paused, blinked more frequently, and then furtively pressed his ear against the door panel.
[So annoying! So annoying! Master Tang refuses to say who told the cub! He keeps taking the blame, I want to bury Master Tang in the back garden!!]
Tang Song's inner thoughts gradually faded away. Zhu Hao bit her lower lip, hesitated, and slowly opened the door, peeking out half her head to stare at Tang Song's back.
Tang Song's imposing figure visibly stiffened, his feet stopped, and he slowly turned around, his dark pupils fixed on Zhu Hao.
"Are you hungry?" Tang Song blurted out, slowly approaching Zhu Hao.
[Oh no! Oh no! Why is the cub hiding behind the door watching me? Is it starting to hate me because of what the wolves said?]
Wishing you well, Tang Song's heartfelt words echoed in my ears once more.
Her gaze fell on Tang Song's taut tail, where the bald spot at the tip had grown fine, tender downy hair, just like a wolf cub.
【Aww~ The cubs aren't looking at me anymore! They must hate me!!】
Zhu Hao pursed her lips, blushed, and came out from behind the door, walking down to him with her head down.
Zhu Hao wasn't very tall, only reaching his chest, so his exhaled breath naturally hit Tang Song's chest.
It's warm, with a hint of jasmine fragrance and sweetness.
[The cub smells so good, *slurp*...]
Tang Song's prominent Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
Zhu Hao raised her hand, grabbed the hem of his shirt, and pointed down the stairs, "Eat..."
Hungry? Want to eat?
[That's not right. Master Tang just came to the study to tell me that the cubs already know what happened that night has spread throughout the wolf clan. Why isn't he reacting at all? Isn't he angry?]
Zhu Hao bit her lower lip, tugged at his sleeve, and walked downstairs.
She had just heard Tang Song say that he was going to throw the wolf who had betrayed them into a cave in the back of the mountain!
Little Snow is still a cub, how could you throw her into the cave behind the mountain?
Last time, Tang Qiao and Tang Yue stayed in the cave for a few days. Tang Yue's leg injury still hasn't healed. If a wolf cub with no ability to protect itself were to enter the cave, it would surely die.
Then she really became the scheming human who harmed the wolf clan that Tang Qiao had described!
It would be better to pretend not to know and let Tang Song let the matter pass by.
Tang Song's gaze fell on the small hand at the corner of her clothes. Her thin lips were pressed tightly together, as if she wanted to say something, but after seeing her thin back, she swallowed her words.

living room.
Tang Song sat on the sofa, with Zhu Hao sitting beside him, and a row of wolves from the villas standing in front of them.
Several wolf cubs huddled timidly behind Tang Shi, clutching his tattered, fringed apron.
Tang Song slightly raised his chin, his sharp gaze sweeping over the wolf cubs in front of him, finally settling on Xiao Xue, who was trembling all over, and said in a deep voice, "Who said that?"
Although Tang Song asked this question, his gaze gradually shifted to Xiao Xue, clearly indicating that he had already guessed it.
After all, the other wolves in the villa couldn't hide their worry for Xiaoxue at all. Tang Song only needed to think for a moment to know that Xiaoxue had let it slip.
Tang Shi tugged at the corner of his apron, took a small step to completely cover the little wolf cub behind him, lowered his eyelashes, and said respectfully, "It is I, Wolf Lord."
Zhu Hao bit her lower lip, her gaze shifting between Tang Song and Tang Shi.
She tightened her grip on the drawing board, quickly writing words, then held the board up to Tang Song, saying, "I'm hungry, I want to eat."
Tang Song's eyes widened for a moment, then he looked at Zhu Hao with a meaningful gaze.
This is the second time the cub has interrupted me to interrogate me; it wasn't unintentional, it was deliberate.
Zhu Hao's breath hitched, she blinked rapidly, and stared uneasily at Tang Song.
At this moment, Tang Song exuded the majesty of a wolf lord, her sharp features revealing her impartiality and selflessness, and the oppressive atmosphere made it hard for her to breathe.
Having lived with the wolf pack for so long, Zhu Hao was well aware that Tang Song was extremely strict, almost to the point of being harsh, in managing the wolf pack.
If any wolf violates the rules or taboos of the wolf clan, Tang Song will never show leniency and will punish them according to the rules, even if they are wolf cubs.
So her attempt to distract Tang Song by talking about eating outside the bedroom clearly didn't work.
She almost never interfered with Tang Song's management of the wolf pack.
This was the first time she had tried to stop Tang Song.
After all, she had lived with Xiaoxue for so long and had developed feelings for her; she didn't want to see Xiaoxue die in the cave.
Tang Song's dark gaze fell on the drawing board in Zhu Hao's hands, and he remained calm and composed without uttering a sound.
The atmosphere in the living room grew increasingly oppressive. Xiaoxue's mother, Tang Miao, had red eyes and her slender limbs trembled slightly, making her look like she was about to pass out.
Even the usually aloof and ruthless Tang Xi couldn't help but frown, secretly glancing at Xiao Xue, who was trembling like a leaf behind Tang Shi.
Even though all the wolves present wanted to plead for Xiaoxue, only Tang Shi dared to stand up and speak.
All the wolves in the wolf pack obey Tang Song unconditionally. They cannot and dare not resist him because Tang Song is their wolf king.
Tang Shi is the wolf who manages the daily life of the wolf pack. He is also the only wolf among all the wolves present who watched Tang Song grow up and once took care of Tang Song when he was a cub.
At this moment, only he dared to risk Tang Song's wrath and take the blame.
Tang Song had specifically summoned all the wolves in the manor a few days ago to emphasize this matter, which shows how much he valued it, or rather, how much he valued Zhu Hao.
He wouldn't allow the wolf clan to spread any rumors about Zhu Hao, nor would he allow any accident to damage the relationship between him and Zhu Hao.
At this moment, all the wolves had their tails drooping low, their eyelids half-closed, staring at the ground, looking respectful and humble.
Seeing the air in the living room growing thinner and the atmosphere more tense, Zhu Hao glanced uneasily at Tang Song sitting beside her, erased the words on the drawing board, and rewrote, "Tang Song, I said... I'm hungry, can we stop now?"
Zhu Hao placed the drawing board on Tang Song's lap, pressed the pen tip firmly on the board, and stared intently at him with her round eyes, a mixture of nervousness, anticipation, and eagerness.
Tang Song lowered his eyes slightly, his dark gaze fixed on the words on the drawing board.
This is the third time; counting the time outside the bedroom, it's the third time.
Tang Song's lips tightened as he looked up at Zhu Hao.
[The cub did it on purpose. Doesn't the cub want me to punish Xiaoxue? Doesn't the cub care what they say? Why doesn't it care? Isn't the cub angry? Or does the cub just not want Xiaoxue to go to the cave in the back mountain?]
Tang Song seemed puzzled. His wolf ears twitched restlessly back and forth, and the tip of his tail curled into a spring shape, coiled up, and quietly huddled at his side.
Zhu Hao's eyes trembled slightly. She had a feeling that Tang Song would change his mind, so she wrote crookedly on the drawing board on his lap, "Okay? Time to eat?"
Tang Song's breath hitched, and he looked up at Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao puffed out her cheeks slightly, closed her eyes a little, and gently shook the tip of her pen on the drawing board, as if she were being coquettish.
[Aww~ The cub is being affectionate!! The cub is being affectionate with me!! Okay, okay!! Time to eat! Time to eat! No punishment, no punishment!]
